Great writeup. Waxangel, the link to Ulfsark's blog post kinda looks like a section header (albeit a small one) rather than a hyperlink. I missed it the first read-through and was expecting the link to be further down in the article or in a follow-up comment.

Nice coverage man. Had no idea about the whole nasty casino vibe and dual stages 10 minutes apart while watching the stream. Sounds like from the live spectator perspective, things could have been much better (though from the guy sitting in his basement perspective, it was a thoroughly watchable tourney)

Great article. I watched it from home and it was very well done. As for the live venue experience, at least they tried it and obviously got some things right and some things wrong. It should only get better in the future.

Lucky had a good run but I don't feel the least bit sorry for him. He roach all-in and lucky banelinged his way to the finals. He couldn't all-in his way to victory against Stephano and that was the end for him. He was an inferior player who beat better players all the way to the finals. I don't think he should apologize or feel bad about it though. This reminds me of Rain 2raxing his way to the finals against zerg and getting crushed by Nestea. same thing here.

Great write-up as usual. I wish Lucky had gotten more recognition, he played well.

Also, that picture of Haypro at the end is great.

Very nice writeup and good posts. I'm new to the Team Liquid forums and I have to say they are a breath of fresh air. There's a lot of positive and mature posts. I'll be coming back for more.

I thought the keyboard sounds were retarded. Not a big deal, but retarded still. It was similar to the visine ads but they weren't funny. There were other fails with sounds (explosions) as well. I wish events would put more effort into the sound quality overall (not in terms of bitrate, but normalization etc)

Huk has always been a crowd favorite, and we all Know MC and Huk are great friends.

Following waxangels, it makes me think... WHat do you guys think of MLG Olando?

From a streaming spectator's pov it was clearly IPL3 > MLG. Hands down.
The production value of this show was insanely PRO.

Plus the tournament's format was much more exciting:
MLG definitely has to fix their loser bracket system and give us beefy climatic BO5 and BO7 final matches.
